    1997 Johnson 70 hp water pump impeller o-ring

    So to answer my own questions now. My backordered BRP water pump repair kit finally came in. Very interesting the original 3 vane impeller does supersede to a 6 vane. But also comes with revised thermostat springs and housing that must be installed along with the water pump housing and impeller...

    VRO pump

    Went though this my J70TLEUM yes you can just use the fuel pump portion of the VRO pump. Not worth it in my opinion. I just purchased an older model new non VRO fuel pump and installed that. Bolted right in. Mix my fuel by hand now and never looked back and far more dependable. Only time my...

    1997 Johnson 70 hp water pump impeller o-ring

    O.K. but what's up with the o-ring under the impeller on 3 vane vs 6 vane and answers to the questions I previously posted about water filling the cavity under the base plate.

    1997 Johnson 70 hp water pump impeller o-ring

    O.K. found my own answer. Upon further scrutiny between what was installed on the 70 hp during routine service by the dealer and what the factory parts catalogue called for seems that they installed parts for a 1998 engine which has no o-ring under the impeller. Seems the 98 parts ( 6 vane )...

    1997 Johnson 70 hp water pump impeller o-ring

    Model # J70TLEUM. Hope someone knows the answer my local marina/dealer has no clue. Replaced the impeller and housing and found no o-ring under the impeller yet the factory 97 parts diagram show one under a 3 vane impeller. Mine has a 6 vane and 98 diagrams show no o-ring under a 6 vane...
